Meet The Speaker

Since September 2009 Stephen has been Secretary General of AMTRA, appointed by the DEFRA Secretary of State as professional regulator for SQPs. As part of a team of four employees, plus a range of non-employees working part-time for AMTRA, he manages to do a bit of everything, from being secretary to the Board and Professional Standards Committee, through representing AMTRA on various external bodies, to being responsible for the beast that is the envelope stuffing machine. His role is to help in managing the professional training, registration and professional discipline of SQPs in a responsible and professional way as well as trying to communicate the role of SQPs in acting as animal medicines advisors, providing high quality advice and medicines. Before AMTRA he spent almost 14 years as Technical Executive at NOAH representing the animal medicine companies on technical and regulatory matters.
